What I was really trying to do is port winpp (a numerical software) from http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/bardware/winppsrc.tgz. However I had a frustrating weekend trying to do this with wine maker.
<standard tip> Make sure the app builds under MinGW. If it doesn't, port it to MinGW first.
Once that is done, you will have a working Makefile for the app. All you need to do now is to change the definition of CC/CXX/WRC from gcc/g++/windres to winegcc/wineg++/wrc respectively.
You may also have to fix paths in #include statements if they use case-insensitive names with wrong cases, or if they use '' instead of '/' as path separator. These changes are portable back to Windows, so they should get integrated back into the app's main tree. </standard tip>
Note to self: I should include this tip in the official docs...
